It’s the moment Dancing With the Starsfans have been waiting all season for. Tonight, ABC’s beloved dance competition will crown one of the five finalists the winner of Season 34 and award them the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

After Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas’ shocking elimination in last week’s Semi-Finals, five couples cemented their spots in the finale: Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy, Robert Irwin and Witney Carson, Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach, Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten, and Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa.

Tuesday’s episode will feature three rounds of intense competition. The first is the Judges’ Choice round, where judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli will select dances for the contestants and offer advice as the stars take on one final new ballroom or Latin style.

The second round is the Instant Dance Challenge, where the pairs will learn their song and dance style only minutes before performing it live. Finally, the third round will showcase each couple’s highly anticipated Freestyle routine. (Check out the complete list of the finale songs and dances below.)
